Marriage Advice:
I have been married 26 years, most of them happy, some very challenging.
We have 2 children we both love more than each other, and that was the glue that kept us together during the bad times. We would not split up because of the kids. Most studies now show that what really is best for the children is to have bio-parents and an intact family. Our son just graduated college and daughter now attending, and they are excellent students and people.
I don't believe in any one being a "perfect match" or a "soul mate." We are all different We come to marriage with different expectations and goals. The only way to make a marriage last a lifetime, or at least 26 years, is to persevere through the tough stuff when love is not enough. Love waxes and wanes, tough it out, it is worth it.
Film thoughts:
I love interesting films. Films that make me think and take me to a place I have never experienced or even thought about. Even if the film is not great, I can forgive some mediocrity if the creative spark is evident and the thought expressed by the movie is original and shows some signs of intelligence.
Take Care,
Darla
Thank you so much for the welcome! So far I've had positive feedback from my question and it was really helpful. And I'm loving Netflix! Take care, Angela
Thanks for the friend add.
You asked for it...
The best advice I can give you is all weddings are similar, but every marriage is different. It is not a lack of love but a lack of friendship that destroys most marriages. Always treat each other better than you would your best friend. I've found that to be the key to my marriage. No matter how upset I get, I always try to remember that we are on the same side & at the end of the day, I'm not going to divorce him & murder is not an option 8-) Fight fair. All is not fair in love & war. You need to learn the art of battle as much as you need to learn the art of making love (yes, it is an art that needs to be learned-read a book together & talk about what each other really likes; you have a lifetime of sex with the same person, make it great). Good battle is objective and honest--never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership. Marriage is not just a spiritual communion(though, the spiritual aspect is often overlooked by most, make sure you are on the same page spiritually or you will have a long road ahead), it is a covenant you make with another person so examine what those marriage vows are saying and make sure you are ready for that commitment. Lastly, if you haven't done it yet, get pre-marital counseling. DO NO GET MARRIED IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD COUNSELING!!!
BTW - If you were wondering - yes, I am a woman ...I just happen to love Bruce.
Hi, tamara. Pretty page. Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials. Marriage is a beautiful thing. I believe Cosby said it best: For two people in a marriage to live together day after day is unquestionably the one miracle the Vatican has overlooked.
Many blessings to you & your intended.
